Fortnite x Hazbin Hotel Collab: Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor Explained
Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel have arrived as Fortnite Item Shop outfits for Fortnitemares 2026. Here's what's confirmed about the skins, how to get them, and where the collab fits inside the current Chapter 7 Season 4: Override season.
Charlie Morningstar, Vaggie and Alastor have checked into Fortnite. Epic Games added the three Hazbin Hotel characters to the Item Shop as part of Fortnitemares 2026, the game's annual Halloween event, turning the Amazon/A24 animated series into playable Battle Royale outfits for the first time.
Here's exactly what arrived, how to get it, and where the collab fits inside the wider Fortnitemares and Chapter 7 Season 4 "Override" content wave.
1. What Is the Fortnite x Hazbin Hotel Collab?
Epic first teased the crossover in its October 1 Fortnitemares 2026 trailer, confirming that Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor would receive "full Fortnite outfits" as part of the event's lineup of licensed characters. The official Fortnitemares 2026 announcement on fortnite.com listed Hazbin Hotel alongside Five Nights at Freddy's, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Black Clover, Hollow Knight, Beetlejuice and several other properties arriving "throughout October."
The trio went live in the Item Shop this week, confirmed by Fortnite's own YouTube channel in a video titled "Time to check in! Hazbin Hotel is coming to Fortnite!" The characters join a growing list of licensed Fortnitemares guests headlining this year's Halloween season.
2. The Three Skins: Charlie, Vaggie and Alastor
All three outfits are based directly on the characters' designs from the show:
- Charlie Morningstar — the Princess of Hell and the hotel's optimistic owner, rendered in her signature red coat and bow-tie look.
- Vaggie — Charlie's partner and the hotel's second-in-command, appearing in a corrupted, Fortnitemares-styled variant with a bandaged eye and red cross motif that outlets have referred to as "Vagatha" in Item Shop listings, fitting the event's "corruption spreads" theme.
- Alastor — the Radio Demon, instantly recognizable by his antlers, sharp grin and red overcoat.
Reported Item Shop listings show Charlie and the Vaggie variant priced individually, with Alastor slightly higher, and all three available together in a discounted bundle. Multiple outlets tracking the shop also report themed Back Blings and Pickaxes bundled with each outfit, along with Hazbin Hotel-inspired emotes and a pair of Jam Tracks usable in Fortnite Festival. Epic has not published official pricing on its own channels at the time of writing, so treat exact V-Bucks figures from third-party trackers as unconfirmed until they appear directly in your in-game shop.
It's worth noting that Vaggie's corrupted "Vagatha" look isn't how she appears in the show — it's a Fortnitemares-specific redesign, in keeping with how Epic has reworked other guest characters (and plenty of its own) with Halloween-themed variants for the event. Charlie and Alastor, by contrast, stick closer to their on-screen designs, which is likely why they were chosen as the trio's most recognizable faces for the Item Shop art.
3. How to Get the Hazbin Hotel Skins
The outfits are purchased with V-Bucks directly from the in-game Item Shop — there's no challenge, quest or Battle Pass requirement to unlock them, unlike some of Fortnite's crossover content. Open the Shop tab, look for the Hazbin Hotel section (it should sit alongside the rest of the Fortnitemares cosmetics), and buy the individual outfits or the bundle if you want all three.
If you'd rather wait and see the full set in motion before spending V-Bucks, preview each outfit in the Shop's 3D viewer first — it lets you check the included Back Bling and Pickaxe animations before buying, which is especially useful for a licensed collab like this where the accessories are a big part of the appeal for fans of the show.
Like most limited-run Item Shop collabs, these cosmetics are not expected to stay available indefinitely. Several outlets tracking the Fortnitemares rotation expect the Hazbin Hotel items to leave the shop before the event wraps up, so if you want them, don't wait until the last day of October to check.
4. Fortnitemares 2026: The Bigger Halloween Picture
Hazbin Hotel is one piece of a much larger seasonal event. Fortnitemares 2026 launched October 1 alongside the v42.30 update and spans Battle Royale, the Horde Rush limited-time mode, and Reload. Confirmed additions include:
- A revamped Nightmare Neighborhood point of interest where players can face Freddy Krueger and claim the Freddy's Nightmare melee weapon.
- The new Bonerattler SMG, which reveals nearby enemies through walls, plus returning Halloween weapons like the Wood Stake Shotgun and Pumpkin Launcher.
- Cursed "cartridge" Overrides that grant sprint invisibility, low-health damage boosts, or let a squad disguise itself as Halloween props.
- Five Nights at Freddy's animatronic bosses players can defeat and possess to terrorize the map.
- An updated Nitemare Island in Reload, which arrived October 8 alongside Stranger Things and Squid Grounds-themed maps.

5. Where This Fits in Chapter 7 Season 4: Override
Fortnitemares is running inside Fortnite's current season, Chapter 7 Season 4, subtitled "Override." That season introduced its own set of crossover characters and mechanics separate from the Halloween event, and it's scheduled to run through the end of October. If you haven't kept up with the season itself, our Override battle pass and map explainer covers the core additions the Halloween content is layered on top of.
Licensed crossovers have become one of the season's defining features — Hazbin Hotel follows collabs with Kingdom Hearts and PAC-MAN earlier in the season, continuing a run that also included the Sonic the Hedgehog crossover and the Persona 5 Royal skin drop earlier this year.
6. About Hazbin Hotel, the Show Behind the Skins
Hazbin Hotel is an adult animated musical series created by Vivienne Medrano, produced in partnership with A24 and distributed on Prime Video. The show follows Charlie Morningstar, princess of Hell, as she attempts to rehabilitate demons at her hotel so they can earn redemption instead of being "exterminated." Vaggie is Charlie's partner and the hotel's head of security, while Alastor, the Radio Demon, is a powerful overlord who offers Charlie his help for his own mysterious reasons. The series built a large online fanbase well before its TV debut, which is likely part of why Epic sought it out for a Fortnitemares collaboration. Background on the series and its cast is available on Wikipedia.
The collab also continues a pattern Epic has leaned into for several years now: pairing Fortnite's Halloween season with horror and adult-animation properties that skew older than the game's traditional audience, alongside the family-friendly crossovers (like Sonic or Kingdom Hearts) that run the rest of the year. Five Nights at Freddy's anchoring this year's event alongside Hazbin Hotel is a good example of that split — one franchise aimed at a broad horror-gaming audience, the other at adult animation fans drawn in by the show's online popularity.
7. Quick Tips Recap
- The Charlie, Vaggie ("Vagatha") and Alastor outfits are purchased directly from the Item Shop — no quests or challenges required.
- Check the shop soon if you want them; Fortnitemares collabs typically rotate out before the event ends on October 31.
- The skins are part of the broader Fortnitemares 2026 event, which also added FNAF bosses, new weapons, cursed Overrides and an updated Nitemare Island in Reload.
- Fortnitemares runs inside Chapter 7 Season 4: Override, which continues through the end of the month.
